Nicely done remaster of the classic first solo album. If all you are familiar with is the old domestic vinyl pressing, this CD will come as quite a revelation. I remember how much improved the UK vinyl sounded back in the day.

PG II marked an about face from the debut. The 1978 album was produced by Robert Fripp. His features his audio verite production technique that he was using at the time (see The Roches). Tony Levin was a linchpin for the band as well as Larry Fast.

Released in 1980, Gabriel's third album (commonly referred to as "the melting face album") featured groundbreaking production. Working with Jerry Marotta again, as well as Phil Collins and Morris Pert, Gabriel instructed the drummers to not play any cymbals.

Perhaps we all burnt out on this album some time ago - I know I played it to death. Released in the US as "Security". In retrospect it may well be Gabriel's solo album that held up the best and could be considered the pinnacle of his solo career.

After a 10 year wait, in 2002, we received the follow up to Us. Surprisingly it sounded a lot like Us! For a guy who is the epitome of progressive rock, he didn't progress very far over 10 years. But even still its got a bunch of great material. Cheap!

In October 1987 after many months on the road, it was in the elevated surroundings of the hillside open-air theatre at Lycabettus overlooking Athens that the So tour came to a climactic close. The three nights were filmed in what was the first-ever Peter Gabriel concert to be committed to film.

"Co-produced by Peter and David Lord this is the first album where Peter really immersed himself in the music of distant lands and cultures. It was also his first fully digital recording. These two elements created a deeply effective soldering-together of futurism and generations-old tradition.

"Having left Genesis in the summer of 1976, Peter’s first solo album arrived in February 1977. He was 26. With legendary producer Bob Ezrin taking charge, the intention was to make a more direct and tougher record: something different from what had gone before.

In 1986 MTV discovered Peter Gabriel and he became massively popular. We were all "sledgehammered" to death and I think everyone burnt out on it a bit. Even still there are some great songs on this album - "In Your Eyes", his duet with Kate Bush "Don't Give Up", and "Mercy Street" as examples.
